Q&A

1. How do I transition my dog to raw?

Use the following instructions based on your dog's weight.

2. How much raw should I feed my dog per day?

The daily portions will be based on your dog's weight and whether your dog is a puppy or an adult dog.

The instructions recommend:

5% - 8% of total body weight per day (not per feeding) for a Puppy (2 months – 1 Year). 

2.5% of body weight daily (not per feeding) to maintain optimal weight.
2% in order to lose weight
3% in order to increase weight for an Adult ( 1 Year – Older).

3. What if my dog doesn’t eat it right away?

Leave the food out for 10 minutes to see if your dog will engage. If it doesn’t, put the food in the fridge and try again at the next meal. 

4. Should I feed more than one protein?

Start off on one protein. Eventually, after a couple of weeks, a variety of proteins might prevent your dog 'getting bored'.  We recommend alternating 3 different proteins 

5. Can I cook the raw? 

No, never cook raw food. The bones (calcium) will become brittle and can pierce your dog’s stomach. 

6. How do I thaw out raw food? 

Put the food in a container in the fridge over night/through the day. Never heat it up.

7. Why does my dog still seem hungry?

Dogs digest raw food differently than kibble, and are able to metabolize it faster. This means they are retaining the nutrients and eliminating waste (this is why the stool is smaller and breaks down much faster). You can offer your dog some of our healthy snacks before the next meal.
